Global Time Attack – 2014 Pro Championship – Road Atlanta

,

As it turns out, the 350 is not swapped at all. ITB's with carbon airboxes made this one of the best sounding VQ's we have ever heard. The combo was quite potent as well, turning the 4th fastest time overall. An amazing feat for a naturally aspirated VQ! 

Before I get to the final results and tell you who got to “beerkakke” each other with mid shelf champagne; lets pause for a personal reflection on Time Attack. Simply put it is a “nerd's sport” and I love it so; that said the classes are growing and people are coming out to participate, it is picking up steam and is more accessible now than it has ever been. We can only hope that as classes fill and events grow that it picks up in popularity and as such it draws more sponsors which in turn draws money and recognition. I don't want this so that the sport takes over the world nor do I want it to turn in to some rolling spec series with a political hierarchy that rivals the State of Illinois government. I want it to happen so that the quality of the people that compete in Time Attack get some much deserved attention for the quality of character they bring to the motorsports world.

And with that we bring you the final results and look forward to the Super Lap Battle Finale in November.

Filthy Joe Ascoli gets dirty… Maybe if he switched to actual camouflage the dirt would blend in more? Regardless it was fun to watch him bounce off this curbing and drive the grip to the outside in his Limited AWD EVO. Joe would take the win in Limited AWD.
